I am waiting for the fix and was curios what the timeline was for the emissions modification submittals so I looked them up. The EPA and CARB are to use their best efforts to approve or deny the submittals within 45 days of submission. Here are VW's submittal deadlines if anyone else cares, this is from Exhibit 1 Benefits paragraph 15:
15. Approved Emissions Modification.
Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees will have the option of having the emissions system of their Eligible Vehicle modified if Volkswagen
submits, and the responsible governmental authorities approve, an Approved Emissions
Modification for their vehicle engine. The expected and final dates for Volkswagen to
submit proposed Emissions Modifications for each vehicle engine generation are shown
in the table below and are detailed more fully in Appendix B to the DOJ Consent Decree.

Class Members will receive VW Class Updates to keep them apprised of this process. If an Emissions Modification is approved for a Class Member’s engine and the Class Member chooses to have their Eligible Vehicle modified,
the Class Member also will receive the Restitution Payment and an Approved Emissions Modification Extended Warranty described in Section 4.3.5 of the Class Action Agreement. However, because the remedies available to Class Members include a contingent option, if there is no Approved Emissions Modification available for a Class Member’s Eligible Vehicle by May 1, 2018, that Eligible Owner or Lessee shall have a second opportunity, from May 1, 2018, until June 1, 2018, to withdraw from the Class Action Agreement.
